I’m not at that stage at this point but this is what i’m (try) going to do for Mobile users.
First i will edit all content and see if i can clear all tables from my templates.
2nd. i will try if this plugin works.
https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/bbpress-theme-switcher/
3rd i make a theme that is very light and smaller.
I will try to delete Avatars and graphic stuff that isn’t needed for mobile devices. (make all links a little bit bigger)
So if somebody on a mobile device visit my page he-/she can switch manually to the “mobile theme”.
Just some fast thinking i don’t know if it will work 100%
But i don’t believe people need extra software for mobile devices most of those devices have browsers on them that are almost the same as the once we use on our computers the problem they mostly face is the smaller screen on the device.

I think the biggest problem you face right now is that bbPress uses Tables in the layout.
That makes the forum less mobile friendly.
But maybe we can change this and replace all table tags into div’s.

Cool. But will have some time though to implement those. I’m still trying to figure out bbpress. I am used to phpbb though 
I have an old phpbb forum till i found the flexibility of bbpress. I ever wanted to transfer my phpbb database to bbpress but i’m always no luck and really findit hard to do. Or is it me because i’m new into programming.
Do you have a tutorial or guide on how i can make my forum works perfectly on mobile devices. Many of my users are using cellphones but it’s quite bit odd for them to browse. Moreover, how can i make my forum accesible to something like m.myforum.com
I see most websites that has mobile support uses the “m” affix in their website address. Thank you!
Hi, a complete noob to BBPress, and a bit of knowledge about WP (enough to get into trouble).
We want a site which has:
– static content and blogs, available to the public
– static and contributed content restricted to members
– forum available to members only.
We do not want SEO, robots or anything to be indexing content in the forums
We want some of the member content to be indexed
Anything in the public area to be indexed.
The forums are based around mutual help/support and needs to be kept private (at least, from the world at large)
Capacity needs to be scalable to 75,000 active members, at any one time.
My question is, what would be the best way to handle this?
I see a standard WP site, with member restricted content; a standalone BBPress site (as a sub-domain) with user access based on the WP site (ie the only way to get to the forum is thru logon at the WP site)
We need to be scale and protect each of the “elements” (static/members/forum) independently.
all thoughts would be welcome.
thanks
The easiest way to do this is by getting this plugin for (bbPress) or better said WordPress.
Make sure you read the HOW TO INSTALL
It’s not that hard to pull off but i like it very much.
You will just get a Widget that you can add to a side-bar or footer-bar lots of option.
One small glitch,
It doesn’t support the nicer-permalinks plugin for bbPress but the links will support the right pages.

bbPress has been a stand alone forum, albeit based on some core WordPress components. But is not a plugin for WordPress.
bbPress as a plugin is currently being developed.

Hey,
Just posting a link to a forum that now re-uses bbPress. My forum called Just a Community (http://jac.snat.co.uk) originally used bbPress then I converted to IP.Board and then back to bbPress using a converter I wrote.
It uses user integration with my blog but other then that, it’s a pretty normal bbPress. Do comment on the design and at the mo, it is still work in process but always good to have feedback.
Hello i was just playing around with this a little bit and i have to say i have ZERO .php skills i only look and compare lines to each other..
But i think i have found the problem for showing the (right) avatars.
First i did this what Kevin told us.
echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->topic_last_post_id , ’48’);
But i got only a basic image and all the same basic avatars..
So i looked at who bbPress did post the user name of the last poster in the topic and i see this.
<?php topic_last_poster(); ?>
So i thought lets try to change _post_id into _poster and it worked for me with this line.
<?php echo bb_get_avatar( $topic->topic_last_poster , ’48’); ?>

Got it: https://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/1399
Plus raised a couple more that i came across while doing this, so they might be related.
Using bbPress-WordPress syncronization plugin and was able to connect to the bbpress part on wordpress dashboard, but not the other way around.
bbPress url: http://example.com/forums/ Everything is ok!
WordPress url: http://example.com/ URL is incorrect or connection error, please verify it (full variant): http://example.com?wpbb-listener
Link above leads to: “If you see that, plugin must connect well. bbPress test response (must be a:1:{s:4:”test”;i:1;}): a:1:{s:4:”test”;i:1;}”
Enable plugin (on both wp & bb) Not allowed: [bbPress part] Cannot establish connection to WordPress part
-made fsockopen, etc. changes
-my-plugins folder, etc. permissions=755
Sincere appreciation for anyone that can offer assistance/ideas 
Thanks zaerl..
I will delete the login-/register menu off WordPress and try to redirect the login-/register off WordPress to the bbPress site.

I think you may have misunderstood what I was asking for (and I probably wasn’t clear enough either). I’m looking for a way to change the contents of the email message that bbpress sends to new users.
